Actor Dermot Mulroney made a bold statement in solidarity with the ongoing strike by the members of the Writer’s Guild of America during his recent appearance on ABC’s The View. Known for his role in Friends, the 59-year-old actor abruptly left his seat mid-interview to demonstrate his support for the striking Hollywood writers, who are advocating for better wages and benefits.
Prior to his dramatic exit, Mulroney took the opportunity to promote his new Disney+ series, Secret Invasion, which had premiered earlier in the week. Despite his sudden departure, he remained professional, expressing gratitude to the hosts for the interview before symbolically walking off the stage to stand with the striking writers.
During his interview, Mulroney discussed his extensive career in Hollywood, his family, and his latest projects. Secret Invasion, his new superhero action series, has generated significant anticipation among viewers. Before leaving, Mulroney ensured the show could proceed to a commercial break, maintaining courtesy to The View’s team.
Although Mulroney’s walk-off was brief and symbolic, he returned during the commercial break to take photos with the hosts, intending to share them on social media with his fans. Following the incident, Mulroney released a statement explaining his actions, emphasizing the importance of supporting the union’s fight for fair wages and working conditions amidst the ongoing strike.
While The View has continued airing with non-union personnel, the writer’s strike persists as negotiations with Hollywood executives continue, now lasting over fifty days
